Saphenous Vein Graft Atherosclerosis

Compared with aspirin alone, aspirin plus ticagrelor was associated with reduced risk for vein graft failure and increased risk for clinically important bleeding in patients who underwent CABG, according to a meta-analysis.

Use of an external saphenous vein graft support device did not improve intimal hyperplasia area in patients undergoing CABG compared with an unsupported graft, according to results from the VEST trial.
